I wrote this book myself, so of course I'm prejudiced in favor!

This book has the most awesome grammar, really new and effective approach using keywords instead of complex imperfect sets of linkword translations.

Being in topic order rather than alphabetical, it's great for browsing. If we knew the word we wanted, we would hardly need a dictionary, right?!

A totally new linguistic tool: standard syllable meanings. You can explore the deeper meaning, and also check appropriateness of word choice. It supports philosophy, composition, accuracy, replacing of transliterations, all kinds of endeavors.

A big book, using the same vocabulary as Williams Maori to English dictionary.
